(*) I don't have that release so I can't confirm the actual running time of that track.

Question:

Can the US 7" Instrumental be reconstructed from the Instrumental from this EU CDS

Any input on this will be much appreciated :)

Thanks for your input about it :)

Thanks for the info, mjb50 !

On MusicBrainz you can search for the artist and then follow links to get to a list of recordings, then look at the ones with the duration you want to find the releases they're on, and then the release pages usually have Discogs links. I've gone ahead and done that for you:

Hot Summer Hits '89 (Dutch compilation CD)
Club Hits '89 Volume 1 (Dutch compilation CD)
The Chart Show: Dance Masters (UK compilation CD)
Ladies of the 80's vol. 1 (German compilation CD; printed duration incorrect)

These are all pretty cheap, but are not currenntly available from any sellers based in the U.S., so shipping costs make it pricey... though not as pricey as the promo CD single.

The only US CD mentioned is TM Century GoldDisc 164, which is not yet on Discogs.

Yeah, so far I've never run across exclusive edits of western music on Japanese CD singles. Definitely there are some rare edits, but always a version available on some other release somewhere.
